Title rivals set for crucial tests
The intense battle for the Formula 1 World Championship will continue across Europe this week, with Ferrari, Williams and McLaren all beginning large testing programmes today (Tuesday), as they attempt to find a performance advantage for the next race at Indianapolis
Ferrari will test at three circuits across Europe in its efforts to help Michael Schumacher to a record sixth Drivers' championship. The main focus of the team's action will be at Jerez in Spain for three days starting today (Tuesday), although it will also run at Monza and its private Fiorano test track in Italy.
BAR, Sauber and Toyota are due to join the Italian team at Jerez.
McLaren are due to run at Barcelona for three days, where David Coulthard, Kimi Raikkonen and test driver Alex Wurz are all scheduled for action. Toyota will also take the opportunity to run at the Spanish track.
